AR-15 Rifles For Home And Self-Defense, In Nebraska

Although a rifle is the single best choice for self and home defense unfortunately there are those politicians in Nebraska and elsewhere in the country that simply don’t understand that a Rile is a incredible tool, and they are trying to vilify Rifles, especially sporting rifles and any firearm that is capable of semi-auto fire.

Your 2nd amendment rights in Nebraska is under attack by ignorant politicians and US Precision Defense is helping to bring out the truth about firearms and their invaluable role in Self-Defense, and saving lives.

It is a sad state of affairs that in Nebraska that something that is so iconic in all of American history is so misunderstood by politicians, they forget history, that every single state in our union had Rifles as part of their history and even in the formation on their actual existence.

Rifles as a way of Self-Defense in Nebraska is a right that all Americans should have without the impedance that some are trying to impose on your rights. Rifles not only are an excellent tool for Self-Defense, they came to the defense of our country from our founding to this very day, and we would not be a Nation if Rifles had not been available for our common Self-Defense.

The Nebraska State Constitutional Provision States: “All persons ... have certain ... rights, among these are ... the right to keep and bear arms for security or defense of self, family, home, and others, and for lawful common defense, hunting, recreational use, and all other lawful purposes, and such rights shall not be denied or infringed by the state or any subdivision thereof.”

In Nebraska, to purchase a handgun, a permit to purchase is required. Rifles and shotguns are not subject to gun laws more restrictive than those at the federal level. As of January 1, 2007, concealed handgun permits (CHPs) are being issued by the Nebraska State Patrol.

Nebraska is a "shall issue" state as of January 1, 2007, Requirements for a concealed carry permit in Nebraska are a state-certified handgun safety course within the past three years, a resident of the state, a successful background check and at least 21 years of age. Nebraska does not issue permits to anyone who is barred from owning a handgun under federal law.

The NRA has reported that the Nebraska legislature has passed a Right to Carry legislation and Governor Heineman has signed it into law. Nebraska is now the 48th State to have some form of Right to Carry. There are now 38 states that are shall issue, and Nebraska will be the 39th shall issue state.

Nebraska does not have a law against open carry in public, hence Nebraska is an open carry state. However there is no state statute specifically "allowing" it and there is no state pre-emption in this regard either so local law can be more strict than the state law.

April, 2012 Legislative Bill 807, Concealed Handgun Permit reform legislation, passed during its final reading on the floor of the Legislature by an overwhelming 48 to 1 vote. LB 807 was then transmitted to Governor Dave Heineman who signed it into law. Pursuant to Nebraska Statute 69-2403 a firearm purchase certificate is required to purchase, lease, rent, or receive a handgun. The law applies to both retail and private party transactions. The law also prohibits selling, leasing, renting, or transferring a handgun to a person who does not possess a handgun certificate.

US Precision Defense offers a members only section with reports and videos, an on-line store, and reciprocity maps, and information just for women shooters.

Lincoln County Sheriff Jerome Kramer stated; "I support [LB 451], because I took an oath to support the Constitution in its entirety, There are things happening at the federal level that are concerning to a lot of Americans. I think Sen. Janssen took the first step to keep the federal government out of our personal lives in Nebraska."

Two Nebraska Sheriff’s have gone on record as supporting a bill that would impede the Federal government’s efforts to enforce the gun ban bills currently before the U.S. House and Senate. The bill drew support from Nebraska Sheriffs Jerome Kramer of Lincoln County and Shawn Hebbert of Grant County.

A growing number of elected Sheriff’s from across the country are starting to become outspoken on the issue of gun control and supporting the US constitution and specifically the second amendment. The Nebraska Sheriff's Association Opposes Gun Bans, and as a collective body voted to endorse Nebraska LB 451. Although individual Sheriff’s offices in Nebraska may not have made individual statements regarding the second amendment and their support, that support is evident by their membership in the Nebraska Sheriff’s Association, and their public statement of belief in the entire Constitution including the second amendment.

Citizens and Sheriffs’ Rally to Preserve Threatened Second Amendment Rights, Angry elected county sheriffs too are continuing their rise against Congress and the President for the same reason. “Leave the Bill of Rights alone.” Their movement, starting in mid-January, also has yet to break through the unsympathetic establishment press.

Perhaps Remington should consider a state that is not only friendly to the Second Amendment, but also has a governor trying to find a way to get rid of both individual and corporate income taxes. If Nebraska Governor Dave Heineman and the Legislature can accomplish that, perhaps that can be incentive for companies to relocate to Nebraska instead of staying in states unfriendly to their product or that levy taxes detrimental to business and job creation. It's probably just a dream, but it would be awesome to have such a legendary gun manufacturer relocate to Nebraska.

Nebraska currently only has a couple of very small specialty manufacturers in the firearms industry so there is a perfect climate for the Governor to try and entice mainstream firearm manufacturers to move to the state.

US Precision Defense has an on-line store full of shooting accessories.
